Default FRONT BRAKES
HI FOLKS,I'M NEW TO THIS SITE, SO BEAR WITH ME, WHAT I'M WONDERING IS THERE ANY ONE THAT KNOW'S IF YOU CAN REPLACE THE BRAKE PADS ON AN O3 H-D R-K BAGGER WITH OUT REMOVING THE FRONT WHEEL OR TAKING THE BRAKE LINE LOOSE.

Loosen the brake res cap, pull the pins on the calipers and swing them out of place, and remove pads. Reverse for install. If memory serves me right HD parts all come with a simple instruction sheet, but I can't remember on pads.

It's really easy, just take a good look at it. Better yet buy a manual.

Oh yeah, welcome to the site.
